Millions of people in the UK do not have children, and many will pay higher taxes on their estates because no-one qualifies for the RNRB allowance. Many individuals consider nieces & nephews as their own and wish to pass assets down to them. The Government should change eligibility for this allowance so this is possible without inheritance tax being incurred.
